4/5/13: Skeeve has been removed from serviceJoanne's office to a temporary storage spot in ChemIT's offices where it remains not plugged in.

To do's:

• Peter to confirm there are no salvageable parts in the computer so the computer can be disposed by ChemIT staff.
• Confirm that the research group currently has no plans to reinstall the source code on another computer.
• Jack approves that this project is to be considered completed.
• ChemIT staff properly dispose of this very old computer.. This includes ensuring the hard drive is destroyed so others can't get any data from it (ChemIT's standard operating procedure), to address Peter's concern.

Strategy

Short-term: Port to virtual machine (VM). Either with old OS or new OS, but either way, 32-bit.

4/4/13: Oliver spoke with Jack, and then with Liang, Alex, and Peter as a group. They were fine with the computer being removed and disposed of, especially considering its age. (Peter wanted to see if it had salvageable parts?)  Details:

• There would be no experimental data on that computer's hard disk since that data would instead be in each researcher's home directory (again, on CCMR's file share). This was confirmed by Barry, per Oliver's conversation with Barry earlier in the week.
• We confirmed that the source code was available in CCMR's file share. There are currently no plans to reinstall that code on another system.
